Morphology
transphobic = transphobia (transparent) = trans + phobia + ic
The adjective is formed by adding the productive suffix '-ic' to the clearly analyzable noun 'transphobia' (trans + phobia), so the meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
Transphobic comes from the start trans- meaning 'across' and now used in transgender for people whose gender is different from the sex they were given at birth, and the part -phobic meaning 'fear' or strong dislike. So, transphobic describes a fear, dislike, or unfair attitude toward transgender people.
